Hunting the rut in farm/marsh country

Unread postby FRH » Sat Oct 20, 2012 1:02 pm

What kind of tips do you have for hunting in farm or marsh land? Is it more of a hit or miss because there really aren't do many "funnels". My thought is to hunt doe bedding areas but they can be spread out so much. I guess I think its a lot more random buck movement in this type of terrain.

There are many types of funnels in marsh and farm country to hunt during the rut and I'm sure many potential options will be added to your post.

I'm going to chime in on buck bedding areas- they continue to produce very well for me right on through the rut and a lot of people think the time for that type of hunting is over- when in actuality it can heat up even more. Just a reminder that buck bedding areas will continue to be a good option throughout the season. 8-)

I key on funnels between doe bedding or sit right in (downwind side of) doe bedding... Only been doing this 4 years though so I still have much to learn.
